It seems like every week I'm buying another baby/kid gift and so I've really been getting to know the local Brooklyn toy stores quite well. Toy Space is definitely my favorite. It's a great combo between the ultra high end toy/clothing stores that dot 7th and 5th Avenues in Park Slope and the really super old-school stores that are dominated by Disney and Ernie and Bert figurines. Nothing against Ernie and Bert - I certainly did love them as a child - but I just can't hand my friends an Ernie or Bert figurine for their new baby. It just seems weird.
Anyway, what I like about Toy Space is that it is divided into age-appropriate sections and it is extremely affordable! Which is really helpful when I'm buying a baby gift each week. The center of the store has lots of little gadgets at knee-high level and I always see at least three or four kids poking around the magnetic stones and farm animal displays. The staff is helpful and make great recommendations. I just wish that they had a frequent-purchaser incentive card or something like that!
